So, we're halfway through the summer season now. Isn't an official comment on Season 1 due by now? Or not... This has been a great season (especially treating Xamd and Anohana as relevant), but the current situation means skipping the simulcast of Dog Days s2 thus far.

Most scenarios I can imagine are harmless to publicly announce, like "Subtitlers have their hands full with the current season" or "Final terms are still being negotiated". But decoy responses help too. In the other event, if it is the worst case scenario and that the deal fell through and is no longer valid, I'd say at least half of us will understand, as we've seen plenty to understand that licensing is complicated and inconvenient.

I can only imagine that Crunchyroll wants to do their own English subtitling(the first season was English-subbed for home video) and maybe they want to release all the episodes at once and that's why it is taking so long. I am pretty sure though that worse case scenario is not the case. They wouldn't have said they had the first season unless that contract was finalized.

But I also would like some idea of when the first season is being released. Regardless, I am fairly confident they'll announce the first season is up when it's up.
